Isn’t it even cooler that I’m still tracking this post even after asking it 11 years ago? 🙂

Unfortunately, if you create a SO from a low res image, the dimensions and resolution of the image INSIDE the smart object decrease so when I then increase the dimensions inside the SO on my “super machine”, the images on the main page are all scaled and are out of proportion.

[Dave LaRonde]:“Ain’t no reason to use your render as your final error-checking time.
Oh, I guess you could get mesmerized by the comp window refreshing as it renders, and you might actually like stopping your render and fixing errors when you spot them, but I’m not a fan of that.”
Exactly! When you render – and I mean export, not render preview, you should already be at least %99 sure that all is good-to-go and there is usually no reason for the preview window to run for the hours of export time (yes, even on strong machines, it can take hours to render large and heavy projects).
So although I don’t mind that the user should have a choice if to keep the preview window running or not, it’s just the CAPS LOCK that bothers me. There is NO other Adobe software or any company for that matter that makes you keep a keyboard function on (CAPS, NUM-LOCK, ScrLk, etc…) in order to perform any kind of task. It just doesn’t make sense.
I, like many others, multitask all the time… I don’t sit for 40 minutes to watch the preview screen while rendering… I use this time to reply to client emails, maybe edit in Premiere, or maybe I must write a birthday card for my wife because in 3 hours her birthday will be over and I’ll be over my head in trouble… I can’t have the caps-lock on for any of this. What’s not to understand?
In reply to your answer about cluttering the interface with more buttons… that’s silly. In the render que itself you can have a checkbox on or off to determine if the preview window should be running or not. You can even switch the CAPS LOCK with an option, say, click the F1 button to turn it on during render and F1 again to turn it off. Don’t make me keep a keyboard function ON all the time.

Hey guys, there is no shortage of workarounds. You can use Media Encoder to render, you can close the preview panel, and many other things. I was just wondering… “why”.

Snarky 🙂 I can’t do other PC operations while my CAPS LOCK is on or else EVERYTHING WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.

Wow, it’s been 4 years and my post is still alive… I’ve created a legacy! 🙂 Thanks Beej for this info! I’m sure it will help many people.

Actually, I’ve thought of that idea and will definitely be trying it! Thanks.

The capacity is 500GB and after installing everything, there is 218GB free. I DO want the SSD to be ny system drive for Windows now loads completely in 15 seconds and programs open with lightning speed.

Thanks, that was it!

Yes, I knew that there is a lossless JPEG but since PS only lets you choose the quality (until 12) I assumed that PS exported the regular lossy JPEG. It would be interesting to research if all of PS JPEG exports are lossless since there is no option of lossy\lossless in PS.
